Not at all chuffed with this years insurance renewal quote!
Discussion
I know insurance has been done to death but there's now't on the telly so I thought I'd share.
Just had my renewal through from a well known classic insurer. AF! £234!!!!!!!!! For 3000 miles a year, alarmed garage, 1 driver. Occasional commute but no business use. Paid about £160ish last year I think. So why the massive jump? Have these companies never heard of loyalty?
Anyway just had a quick flick on Heritage's online quote system. £164 straight away!
And from reading some of the previous post I think I might be able to improve on that a little with RH now I've had the car for more than a year?
Really not pleased with AF. I called them last year and moaned getting them to drop the price by a few quid. But after being with them for over 5 years with the MX5, Westy and now the Wedge I think it's time we went our separate ways.
That's the moaning done. Beer time :-)

Got back from holiday today and thought it was time to sort out the insurance
AF £234.10
Heritage £164
RH £157.80
So I phoned AF to tell them I wouldn't be renewing just incase it was an auto-renewal as some are.
Yep you guessed it. "oh let me just have another look on the system for you"
£155.53. And the excess is now £50 not £150. Why don't they just do that in the first place? Or even bung 10% on last years quote and send the renewal out. So now I'm paying them even less than I did last year.
I would have gone with RH just out of spite but they wanted a statement from my company car insurers about my two no fault claims this year. I thought if you weren't at fault it didn't matter?
Anyway that's another 12 months sorted. TAX or SORN that is the next question. If I SORN it that gearbox has got to come out to get the rumbling bearing sorted.
